Advisory: Logan Area Mountains | Issued by Toby Weed for Tuesday - April 8, 2014 - 7:07am |
---|
current conditions The snow will get sloppy earlier today after a poor overnight re-freeze, and we're expecting a very warm and sunny day in the mountains. The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 34 degrees and there's 109 inches of total snow, with 136% of average water content for the date. It's 30 degrees at the 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station, and I'm currently reading west-northwest winds averaging in the mid teens.

recent activity Several people triggered shallow wind slabs yesterday in the Central Wasatch Range backcountry, with one person able to self arrest after being caught. Locally: A snowboarder unintentionally triggered and was able to ride off of a shallow wind slab on the north face of Millville Peak yesterday. Also, observers reported natural wet avalanche activity in lower Providence Canyon and in the Wellsvilles from over the weekend. Visit our Backcountry Observations Page for details on the season's activity. A shallow triggered soft slab on Millville Peak, 4-7-2014. Flygare
